The not so grey matter: Incredible close-up shot of living human brain wins microscope photography competition
A unique close-up image of a living human brain has won the Wellcome Prize for microscope photography after it was taken during a surgical procedure to treat a patient with epilepsy.
Taken by Robert Ludlow of UCL's Institute of Neurology, the image is a rare shot of a living brain - a view normally only seen by neurosurgeons, showing veins, arteries and grey matter flushed pink with blood.
Professor Alice Roberts, who was a member of the judging panel, said: 'This is a remarkable image of a human brain. What makes it so different from most images of the surface of the brain
is that this organ is living - this is a brain as it is encountered
during neurosurgery.
The winning picture was taken during an operation on the brain of a living epilepsy patient. Taken by Robert Ludlow of UCL's Institute of Neurology , the image depicts the beauty and fragility of this enigmatic organ
Roberts said, ''Through the skill of the photographer, we have the privilege of seeing something which is normally hidden away inside our skulls.
'The arteries are bright scarlet with oxygenated blood, the veins deep purple, and the 'grey matter' of the brain a flushed, delicate pink. It is quite extraordinary.'
A time lapse shot of a cancer cell dividing and beautifully spiky caffeine crystal were all finalists in the Wellcome Image Award.
Some of the pictures are eerily beautiful such as a close-up of green algae, a bacteria biofilm or the crystal of the anti-diarrhoea drug Loperamide.

Sixteen Wellcome Image Awards were presented in total and this marks the first time that an overall winner has been selected.
Catherine Draycott, head of Wellcome Images and a member of the judging panel, said: 'The Wellcome Image Awards are unique in that the winners are chosen for their scientific and technical merit as much as for their aesthetic appeal.
'They offer people a chance to get closer to science and research and see it in a different way, as a source of beauty as well as providing important information about ourselves and the world around us.'
Bacteria biofilm: This confocal micrograph shows Bacillus subtilis, a rod-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in soil. Distinct lineages of bacteria expressing different fluorescent proteins were initially mixed randomly on a petri dish
Left: Connective tissue - This false-coloured scanning electron micrograph shows tissue removed from a human knee during arthroscopic surgery. Individual fibres of collagen can be distinguished and have been highlighted by the creator using a variety of colours. Right: Xenopus laevis oocytes of an African clawed frog
Medical photography is a notoriously difficult practice, with photographers having to work around clinicians to take the crucial images with no control over lighting or conditions.
But the images are essential for helping doctors to make diagnoses, to track and record treatments and for education purposes.
Other Wellcome Image Award winners include cancer cells in motion, a lavender leaf and a hair-raising close-up of a moth fly.
The awards will be on display at the Wellcome Collection in London until December 2012.

ABSTRACT: In past decades, gut microbiome perturbations appeared to play a role in the development of several autoimmune diseases. Microbiome dysbiosis together with genetic, lifestyle and/or diet factors may composedly affect the etiology of autoimmune diseases. Studies about the role of the gut microbiome in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), a chronic autoimmune disease of the joint, are limited. We propose that intestinal dysbiosis-associated microbiota or gut microbiota-derived products might reach the joint by translocation to the circulation leading to T-cell activation and inflammation that underline PsA. Future studies on the intestinal microbiome associated with psoriatic arthritis can provide new targets for diagnostic and treatment strategies. Recognizing the PsA 'early warning phases' could offer new windows of opportunities regarding prevention.International Journal of Clinical Rheumatology 12/2014;

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) may develop slowly over years from precursor lesions, and thus, screening combined with early diagnosis is the key to disease prevention. Recent studies have elucidated specific traits in the gut microbiome associated with CRC and suggested that the microbiome may be useful in screening for CRC purposes but failed to provide protocols that can be applied in a practical situation. A recent study by Zackular and colleagues presented in this issue of Cancer Prevention Research provides an important way forward here in showing that specific analysis of multiple aspects of the microbiome composition in toto provides reliable detection of both precancerous and cancerous lesions. This important achievement when combined with other non-invasive techniques promises to provide highly effective tools for early CRC diagnosis and its prevention.Cancer Prevention Research 09/2014; 7(11).

ABSTRACT: Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory joint disease, seen in combination with the chronic inflammatory skin disease psoriasis and belonging to the family of spondylarthritides (SpA). A link is recognized between psoriatic arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Environmental factors seem to induce inflammatory disease in individuals with underlying genetic susceptibility. The microbiome is a subject of increasing interest in the etiology of these inflammatory immune-mediated diseases. The intestinal microbiome is able to affect extra-intestinal distant sites, including the joints, through immunomodulation. At this point, evidence regarding a relationship between the microbiome and psoriatic arthritis is scarce. However, we hypothesize that common immune-mediated inflammatory pathways seen in the "skin-joint-gut axis" in psoriatic arthritis are induced or at least mediated by the microbiome. Th17 has a crucial function in this mechanism. Further establishment of this connection may lead to novel therapeutic approaches for psoriatic arthritis.Current Rheumatology Reports 03/2014; 16(3):407.

ABSTRACT: The evidence for a strong correlation between the gut microbiota and colorectal carcinogenesis is quickly gathering pace. This correlation raises important questions, such as whether analysis of the microbiota can be used for screening purposes, and whether targeted intervention can influence the risk of development and progression of neoplasia. The recovery of several pathobionts-such as members of the different bacterial phyla Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Fusobacteria-from the tumour microenvironment of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) now provides a link between specific microbial colonization and cancer. However, other intestinal bacteria belonging to another major intestinal phylum, Firmicutes, might be effective in the treatment of pathogenic inflammation related to CRC. Future approaches based on the analysis of the gut microbiota of patients with CRC combined with large human cohort studies might open up new possibilities for further prophylactic, screening and treatment strategies.Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology 09/2013; 10(12).

ABSTRACT: Although genome wide association studies have partly uncovered the genetic basis of Crohn's disease (CD), it remains a challenge to link genetic polymorphisms to functional intestinal phenotypes. Paneth cells are specialised antimicrobial epithelial cells localised to the small-intestinal crypt-base. Here, we investigate whether genomic variations in ATG16L1 affect Paneth cell function. Genomic variation of ATG16L1 (T300A, rs2241880) was determined in DNA from 78 patients with CD and 12 healthy controls. Paraffin-embedded ileal biopsies from patients with genotype AA (n=17), GA (n=38) and patients with the GG allele (n=23) were stained for GRP78, phospho-EIF2α, lysozyme, cleaved-caspase 3, phosphohistone H3, phospho-IκB, p65, phospho-p38MAPK and PHLDA1. Microbial composition of biopsies was assessed by PCR. Disease phenotype was scored. In patients with quiescent disease but with an ATG16L1 risk allele, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers GRP78 and pEIF2α were highly expressed in Paneth cells. Other CD risk gene variations did not correlate with Paneth cell ER stress. Functionally, patients with ER-stressed Paneth cells showed no changes in intestinal epithelial cells proliferation or apoptosis, Paneth cell or stem cell numbers, p65, phospho-IκB and phospho-p38 staining. However, a significantly increased presence of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli was observed in biopsies from patients with ER-stressed Paneth cells. Phenotypically, patients with GRP78 positive Paneth cells have relatively less colonic disease over ileal disease (-21%, p=0.04), more fistulas (+21%, p=0.05) and an increased need for intestinal surgery (+38%, p=0.002). The ATG16L1 T300A polymorphism defines a specific subtype of patients with CD, characterised by Paneth cell ER stress even during quiescent disease. Paneth cell ER stress correlates with bacterial persistence, and is thus likely to modulate antimicrobial functionality of this cell type in patients with CD.Gut 08/2013; 63(7).

ABSTRACT: Pregnancy has a beneficial influence on the course of certain autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It was recently reported that during pregnancy the microbiome undergoes profound changes that are associated with host physiological and immunological adaptations. Here we propose that microbiome remodeling during pregnancy is an active response of the mother, possibly to alter immune system status, and to facilitate metabolic and immunological adaptations that are needed for a successful pregnancy. Furthermore, these changes in the microbiome may ensure the transfer of specific traits into the neonatal gut. As the underlying mechanisms are not well understood, elucidating how pregnancy-related changes in the microbiome influence IBD would be of obvious value for designing rational therapy.Trends in Molecular Medicine 07/2013; 19(8).

Article: Correlation between Protection against Sepsis by Probiotic Therapy and Stimulation of a Novel Bacterial Phylotype[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Prophylactic probiotic therapy has shown beneficial effects in an experimental rat model for acute pancreatitis on the health status of the animals. Mechanisms by which probiotic therapy interferes with severity of acute pancreatitis and associated sepsis, however, are poorly understood. The aims of this study were to identify the probiotic-induced changes in the gut microbiota and to correlate these changes to disease outcome. Duodenum and ileum samples were obtained from healthy and diseased rats subjected to pancreatitis for 7 days and prophylactically treated with either a multispecies probiotic mixture or a placebo. Intestinal microbiota was characterized by terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analyses of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene fragments. These analyses showed that during acute pancreatitis the host-specific ileal microbiota was replaced by an "acute pancreatitis-associated microbiota." This replacement was not reversed by administration of the probiotic mixture. An increase, however, was observed in the relative abundance of a novel bacterial phylotype most closely related to Clostridium lituseburense and referred to as commensal rat ileum bacterium (CRIB). Specific primers targeting the CRIB 16S rRNA gene sequence were developed to detect this phylotype by quantitative PCR. An ileal abundance of CRIB 16S rRNA genes of more than 7.5% of the total bacterial 16S rRNA gene pool was correlated with reduced duodenal bacterial overgrowth, reduced bacterial translocation to remote organs, improved pancreas pathology, and reduced proinflammatory cytokine levels in plasma. Our current findings and future studies involving this uncharacterized bacterial phylotype will contribute to unraveling one of the potential mechanisms of probiotic therapy.Applied and Environmental Microbiology 09/2011; 77(21):7749-56.

ABSTRACT: Early-life exposure to appropriate microbial flora drives expansion and development of an efficient immune system. Aberrant development results in increased likelihood of allergic disease or increased susceptibility to infection. Thus, factors affecting microbial colonization may also affect the direction of immune responses in later life. There is a need for a manipulable animal model of environmental influences on the development of microbiota and the immune system during early life. We assessed the effects of rearing under low- (farm, sow) and high-hygiene (isolator, milk formula) conditions on intestinal microbiota and immune development in neonatal piglets, because they can be removed from the mother in the first 24 h for rearing under controlled conditions and, due to placental structure, neither antibody nor antigen is transferred in utero. Microbiota in both groups was similar between 2 and 5 days. However, by 12-28 days, piglets reared on the mother had more diverse flora than siblings reared in isolators. Dendritic cells accumulated in the intestinal mucosa in both groups, but more rapidly in isolator piglets. Importantly, the minority of 2-5-day-old farm piglets whose microbiota resembled that of an older (12-28-day-old) pig also accumulated dendritic cells earlier than the other farm-reared piglets. Consistent with dendritic cell control of T cell function, the effects on T cells occurred at later time-points, and mucosal T cells from high-hygiene, isolator pigs made less interleukin (IL)-4 while systemic T cells made more IL-2. Neonatal piglets may be a valuable model for studies of the effects of interaction between microbiota and immune development on allergy.Clinical & Experimental Immunology 02/2010; 160(3):431-9.

ABSTRACT: Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells that play an essential role in mucosal tolerance. They regularly encounter beneficial intestinal bacteria, but the nature of these cellular contacts and the immune responses elicited by the bacteria are not entirely elucidated. Here, we examined the interactions of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and its cell surface compounds with DCs. L. acidophilus NCFM attached to DCs and induced a concentration-dependent production of IL-10, and low IL-12p70. We further demonstrated that the bacterium binds to DC-specific ICAM-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN), a DC- specific receptor. To identify the DC-SIGN ligand present on the bacterium, we took advantage of a generated array of L. acidophilus NCFM mutants. A knockout mutant of L. acidophilus NCFM lacking the surface (S) layer A protein (SlpA) was significantly reduced in binding to DC-SIGN. This mutant incurred a chromosomal inversion leading to dominant expression of a second S layer protein, SlpB. In the SlpB-dominant strain, the nature of the interaction of this bacterium with DCs changed dramatically. Higher concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-12p70, TNFalpha, and IL-1beta were produced by DCs interacting with the SlpB-dominant strain compared with the parent NCFM strain. Unlike the SlpA-knockout mutant, T cells primed with L. acidophilus NCFM stimulated DCs produced more IL-4. The SlpA-DC-SIGN interaction was further confirmed as purified SlpA protein ligated directly to the DC-SIGN. In conclusion, the major S layer protein, SlpA, of L. acidophilus NCFM is the first probiotic bacterial DC-SIGN ligand identified that is functionally involved in the modulation of DCs and T cells functions.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 01/2009; 105(49):19474-9.

Article: Feeding of Lactobacillus sobrius reduces Escherichia coli F4 levels in the gut and promotes growth of infected piglets[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The microbial community in the guts of mammals is often seen as an important potential target in therapeutic and preventive interventions. The aim of the present study was to determine whether enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) F4 infection in young animals might be counteracted by a probiotic treatment with Lactobacillus sobrius DSM 16698. The experiment was conducted in three randomized consecutive replications, each consisting of 16 piglets, and including a control group and an L. sobrius fed group, both experimentally challenged with ETEC. During the entire trial, the animals' health status, body weight, and microbial parameters were monitored periodically. Probiotic supplementation containing L. sobrius significantly reduced the levels of ETEC in the ileum when fed directly to piglets after weaning. In contrast, the number of days when the piglets had an increased faecal water content was significantly higher in the probiotic group. Nevertheless, an improved daily weight gain was also observed in the animals that received probiotic L. sobrius relative to the control fed group. The data indicate that L. sobrius may be effective in the reduction of the E. coli F4 colonization and may improve the weight gain of infected piglets.FEMS Microbiology Ecology 07/2008; 66(3):599-607.

Article: The Novel Porcine Lactobacillus sobrius Strain Protects Intestinal Cells from Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88 Infection and Prevents Membrane Barrier Damage 1,2[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Lactobacilli have a potential to overcome intestinal disorders; however, the exact mode of action is still largely unknown. In this study, we have used the intestinal porcine intestinal IPEC-1 epithelial cells as a model to investigate a possible protective activity of a new Lactobacillus species, the L. sobrius DSM 16698(T), against intestinal injury induced by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88 infection and the underlying mechanisms. Treatment of infected cells with L. sobrius strongly reduced the pathogen adhesion. L. sobrius was also able to prevent the ETEC-induced membrane damage by inhibiting delocalization of zonula occludens (ZO)-1, reduction of occludin amount, rearrangement of F-actin, and dephosphorylation of occludin caused by ETEC. RT-PCR and ELISA experiments showed that L. sobrius counteracted the ETEC-induced increase of IL-8 and upregulated the IL-10 expression. The involvement of IL-8 in the deleterious effects of ETEC was proven by neutralization of IL-8 with a specific antibody. A crucial role of IL-10 was indicated by blockage of IL-10 production with neutralizing anti-IL-10 antibody that fully abrogated the L. sobrius protection. L. sobrius was also able to inhibit the internalization of ETEC, which was likely favored by the leaking barrier. The protective effects were not found with L. amylovorus DSM 20531(T) treatment, a strain derived from cattle waste but phylogenetically closely related to L. sobrius. Together, the data indicate that L. sobrius exerts protection against the harmful effects of ETEC by different mechanisms, including pathogen adhesion inhibition and maintenance of membrane barrier integrity through IL-10 regulation.Journal of Nutrition 01/2008; 137(12):2709-16. · 3.88 Impact Factor
Article: Modification of intestinal flora with multispecies probiotics reduces bacterial translocation and improves clinical course in a rat model of acute pancreatitis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Infection of pancreatic necrosis by gut bacteria is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Use of prophylactic antibiotics remains controversial. The aim of this experiment was assess if modification of intestinal flora with specifically designed multispecies probiotics reduces bacterial translocation or improves outcome in a rat model of acute pancreatitis. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated into 3 groups: (1) controls (sham-operated, no treatment), (2) pancreatitis and placebo, and (3) pancreatitis and probiotics. Acute pancreatitis was induced by intraductal glycodeoxycholate and intravenous cerulein infusion. Daily probiotics or placebo was administered intragastrically from 5 days prior until 7 days after induction of pancreatitis. Tissue and fluid samples were collected for microbiologic and quantitative real-time PCR analysis of bacterial translocation. Probiotics reduced duodenal bacterial overgrowth of potential pathogens (Log(10) colony-forming units [CFU]/g 5.0 +/- 0.7 [placebo] vs 3.5 +/- 0.3 CFU/g [probiotics], P < .05), resulting in reduced bacterial translocation to extraintestinal sites, including the pancreas (5.38 +/- 1.0 CFU/g [placebo] vs 3.1 +/- 0.5 CFU/g [probiotics], P < .05). Accordingly, health scores were better and late phase mortality was reduced: 27% (4/15, placebo) versus 0% (0/13, probiotics), respectively, P < .05. This experiment supports the hypothesis that modification of intestinal flora with multispecies probiotics results in reduced bacterial translocation, morbidity, and mortality in the course of experimental acute pancreatitis.Surgery 05/2007; 141(4):470-80.

Article: Post-natal development of the porcine microbiota composition and activities. Environ Microbiol 8:1191-1199[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The current study describes the development of the porcine microbiota and its metabolic activities during the neonatal and weaning period. Using 16S rRNA-based approaches, we first analysed the ileal and colonic microbiota of neonatal piglets at days 2, 5 and 12 after birth. To further investigate the effect of weaning at 3 weeks of age, 19-day-old piglets (n = 64) were randomly allocated into two groups. Half of the piglets remained with their sows throughout the study, while the remaining piglets were weaned. As revealed by sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene amplicons, the samples of 2-day-old piglets harboured a consortium of bacteria related to Escherichia coli, Shigella flexneri, Lactobacillus sobrius, Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Moreover, species-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction assays unveiled that L. sobrius and L. reuteri predominated in the ileal samples of the neonatal and unweaned piglets with population levels up to 7 x 10(8) cells per gram of lumen content. Following weaning, however, these two lactobacilli were detected at significantly lower levels (< 10(3)) in the ileal samples. Furthermore, a shift in composition and metabolic activities of the predominant microbiota, and emergence of clostridia and E. coli, were encountered in the intestinal samples of the piglets after the early post-weaning period.Environmental Microbiology 08/2006; 8(7):1191-9.

ABSTRACT: To obtain porcine isolates related to Lactobacillus amylovorus, we screened strains from piglet intestine grown on Lactobacillus-specific MRS agar for hybridization to a fluorescent 16S rRNA-targeted DNA probe. Six strains were isolated and further characterized by phenotypic and molecular taxonomic methods. The isolates were Gram-positive, catalase-negative, facultatively anaerobic rods. They had similar phenotypic characteristics and displayed genomic DNA-DNA relatedness values of >78 % to each other, indicating that they belong to a single species. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that the novel isolates were members of Lactobacillus rRNA group I, which includes Lactobacillus delbrueckii, the type species of the genus. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, Lactobacillus kitasatonis (99 %), Lactobacillus crispatus (98 %) and Lactobacillus amylovorus (97 %) were the nearest relatives of the novel isolates, but their DNA-DNA relatedness was found to be lower than 49 %. One of the isolates, strain OTU171-001T, was further characterized using physiological and biochemical tests. Together, the results enabled genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain OTU171-001T from the other species that showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values greater than 97 %. Strain OTU171-001T merits species status and the name Lactobacillus sobrius sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is OTU171-001T (= DSM 16698T = NCCB 100067T).International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology 01/2006; 56(Pt 1):29-32. DOI:10.1099/ijs.0.63508-0 · 2.51 Impact Factor

Prompt pay laws have been on the books since the 1990s. Today all 50 states have some type of prompt pay laws that require clean claims to be paid within 15 to 60 days. Noncompliance can result in fines and penalties, including interest payments.
It's unclear which states, if any, have duplicated Georgia's efforts to apply prompt pay laws to self-funded companies.
The AMA has cited Indiana and Ohio as having similar laws, but a quick check revealed that the Ohio Department of Insurance says on its website that its prompt pay law "does not apply to Medicare, Medicaid or self-insured ERISA plans." In Indiana, the state medical association's website has a similar prompt pay disclosure.
Jeremy Lazarus, MD, the AMA president told me in an interview that the AMA views the Georgia case as having a "national precedence" that will fill a "regulatory void." The issue is that "physicians want to be taking care of patients and not hassling with insurers to get paid."
Be sure and keep an eye on this one.

Requesting Nagercoil – Bangalore Daily train service
Dear Friends,
This is to express my concern over the unbelievable, unjustifiable struggle of thousands of people from the southern most India to travel to the Hot Spot Hi Tech city, Bangalore for Education, Business or job purposes. This is because of the non availability of a convenient train in this route. This is a very surprising fact as this route can also be a very profitable route for the Indian Railways.
There are hundreds of people who travel to and from Bangalore to Nagercoil via. Madurai, every day. They struggle to get transport and often they end up spending a lot of money to travel by the private omni buses. This is mainly due to the fact that there is no daily train in this route. We have been demanding a daily train in this route for the past 15 years. Therefore, it will be a great help for the people if you assign one daily train for this route (Bangalore to Nagercoil via Madurai and Tirunelveli).
There is a rumor among the public that private buses have bribed the responsible officials to reject and block the daily train service.
Thanking You,
SUB : Requesting Nagercoil – Bangalore Daily train service
I am a frequent traveller in the Bangalore – Nagercoil route .There are many people, including my friends and colleagues, who are from Nagercoil and work in Bangalore. There are thousands of such people in Kanyakumari district. All of them travel regularly in this route.
Every time, they struggle traveling by the only available mode of transport, the private omni buses, paying a lot of money. They are compelled to travel by these buses because the only weekly train running between these destinations runs at a very inconvenient time for office goers.Currently, Nagercoil – Bangalore 16537/16538 train is the only train plied in this route once a week. Moreover, it is plied on odd days and timings which are totally useless for the students, business men or office goers. This train may be operated daily for the better convenience of the people.Moreover, changes are necessary in the timings to help the passengers reach in the morning hours both at Bangalore and at Nagercoil. Nagercoil-Bangalore route is definitely a commercially profitable route, too. There is a rumor among the public that private buses have bribed the responsible officials to reject and block the daily train service.
This route is badly in need of a direct night train service on a daily basis. Hence, it will be a great help for the citizens if you assign a daily train for this route (Bangalore to Nagercoil via Madurai,Tirunelveli).
Please consider my humble request and do the needful.
Thanking You,
Yours sincerely,

On this Labor Day weekend, while we are spending time with families and friends celebrating the end of the summer, let's not forget the real reason for the long weekend. Unions have fought for many benefits over the years that today we can sometimes take for granted. On this weekend let's not forget the enhancement of workers' rights and conditions that our forefathers fought hard to get and our daily struggle to maintain. While this is by no means an all-inclusive list, some of those benefits are:
• Weekends
• All Breaks at Work, including your Lunch Breaks
• Paid Vacation
• Sick Leave
• Social Security
• Minimum Wage
• Civil Rights Act/Title VII (Prohibits Employer Discrimination)
• 8-Hour Work Day
• Overtime Pay
• Child Labor Laws
• Occupational Safety & Health Act (OSHA)
• 40 Hour Work Week
• Worker's Compensation (Worker's Comp)
• Unemployment Insurance
• Pensions
• Workplace Safety Standards and Regulations
• Employer Health Care Insurance
• Collective Bargaining Rights for Employees
• Wrongful Termination Laws
• Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967
• Whistleblower Protection Laws
• Employee Polygraph Protect Act (Prohibits Employer from using a lie detector test on an employee)
• Veteran's Employment and Training Services (VETS)
• Compensation increases and Evaluations (Raises)
• Sexual Harassment Laws
• Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
• Holiday Pay
• Employer Dental, Life, and Vision Insurance
• Privacy Rights
• Pregnancy and Parental Leave
• Military Leave
• The Right to Strike
• Public Education for Children
• Equal Pay Acts of 1963 & 2011 (Requires employers pay men and women equally for the same amount of work)
• Laws Ending Sweatshops in the United States
Reflecting on this list this Labor Day weekend it is obvious that there is at least 36 reasons to thanks unions and to recognize the power in having a voice in your wages and working conditions.

Results for November 2005
by whitley on Nov 30, 2:30 PM
Tango has lofty goals: its tagline is "Love, Life and the Pursuit of Happiness," which is clearly what most couples (and single people) are striving for in a relationship. Rather than focusing on the relationship from the point of view of one gender, Tango tries to look at both sides, and this point of view extends into product reviews as well as stories and advice columns.

I'm a fairly curious guy, especially when I see a chance to parlay whatever knowledge I can glean into personal gain. And so the December
caught my eye with two of its cover queries: "Why are people
?" (why, they're practically begging me to take advantage of that kindness), and "Can science predict when the housing bubble will burst?" (if so, remind me to kidnap Columbia's zoology chair for my next open-house jamboree).

I'll answer your question before you ask it: Yes, of course I'm bitter. Over the past 12 months, I've bleached my teeth, dropped 35 pounds and trimmed my shoulder hair so that I'm no longer confused with lesser primates. I've started wearing form-fitting T-shirts and perfected a come-hither gaze. And yet still I received no love from
's "Sexiest Man Alive" arbiters. Again. So very hurtful.

It's worth taking a more in-depth look at
, as its tush-happy covers don't exactly reflect the breadth of its content. I'd argue that the magazine boasts a considerably higher IQ and a more refined social/political mission than its detractors would acknowledge.

Upon first glance at the November 14
, I thought I'd unwittingly been transported back into the dank netherworld that was 2003. And what a forbidding time it was: technology, business and lifestyle publications were foisting "blogs might be worse than Communism!" cover stories upon an unsuspecting and often indifferent public.

I say hip-hip-hooray for shopping magazines, perhaps the only print genre that doesn't demand of its audience functional or even partial literacy. So with the ol' brain in the shop for its 50,000-mile tune-up, I grabbed a copy of the November

April 26th, 2005
Alan B. Shalleck: Last month I wrote about the paucity of the promised blockbuster nanotechnology products in 2005. I clearly touched a raw nerve. What a spectrum of response. I've received letters and email from many saying "right on" and from the others asking, "Why are you knocking the industry?" (I wasn't. I was trying to light a fire.) A few listed all the nanoproducts they could find (an exciting but not very meaningfully economic group) and said I had asked the wrong question. Funny … the VC's and other major investors were noticeably silent while some of the nanomanagement I spoke to reluctantly admitted that they hadn't done their jobs as well as they should have. I believe such discussion is very healthy for the nanoindustry so I'm going to go a step further this month.

The live element has been lacking in porn for most of its existence and despite attempts to broadcast as-you-see-it porn shoots on the 'net, live adult performances are still mostly the domain of strip clubs and coin-op booths and, of course, webcam sites, and when it comes to webcam sites, Jasmin is the undisputed champion! With more than 50,000 ready and willing performers on the roster and at least 1,000 online at any given moment, Jasmin has a live show to suit every libido, fetish, and sexual preference. But can it keep up with the constant evolution of online technology? Screw 'Wired'! Ask Mr. Pink!
While she can't go out drinking with you after work on a Friday night, an 18-year-old babe can be a hell of a lot of fun. Porn Pros token teen site, 18 Years Old proves this with over 300 exclusive hardcore scenes that range from uninhibited party hookups to slow, seductive erotica that'll just as likely please your lady-friend as they will you. Although, much like the young women it features, 18 Years Old is far from perfect, it's certainly getting better and better as it ages.
You may not have heard the name Brandon Iron before, but it's almost inconceivable that you haven't enjoyed one of his frenetic blowjob scenes, the best of which have been assembled and arranged for you at Load My Mouth. Part of the illustrious Pornstar Network, Iron's Load My Mouth series takes pornstars, experienced and amateur, plugs their faces with his boner, amps up the intensity level, and finishes off by heaving from his sack a monstrous load that the recipient then guzzles down with glee. In essence, Load My Mouth is a site on which you'll see Brandon Iron loading the mouths of pornstar hotties with his ejaculate. Now tell me this guy doesn't have one of the world's greatest occupations. Go on.
Japanese pornography is rightly regarded as some of the wildest and weirdest, most experimental and outlandish adult entertainment on the planet, so imagine the excitement you'll feel when staring at JAV HQ's front page and noticing the word "uncensored" featured so prominently. You read that right, fuck fans, JAV HQ is a totally uncensored and extremely colorful look at Japanese porn. Struggling to add 1080p HD videos and lacking much in the way of exclusive content, JAV HQ is hardly flawless, though it does provide some truly exceptional Asian porn - totally uncensored, of course.
In BDSM porn it's usually a man who pulls his hand back for a blistering slap of the ass that leaves his partner red, raw, and begging for mercy. Trust Fetish Network to fuck with convention, though, and unleash its boldest site yet: Strapon Squad. Handing the dicks over to the foxiest young bitches in porn today, Strapon Squad gives women the chance to be dominated, devastated, and utterly destroyed by, well, each other! If that doesn't make for the raunchiest, most daring take on lesbian sex yet seen in porn, I don't know what does!
Pegas Productions is a leading proponent of French-Canadian pornography - actually, to my knowledge it's the only major proponent of French-Canadian pornography - and has amassed on its self-titled network a roster of fourteen websites, 140 foxy female performers, and more nearly 650 exclusive scenes depicting every debauched and debased sex act these nutty Canadian horn-dogs indulge in. Shot in HD and ready to view at 720p resolution, Pegas Productions' colorful and lively hardcore is the breath of fresh northern air we all need once in a while.
Littering the countryside like abandoned Circuit City stores, glory holes welcome those in search of a truly anonymous sexual experience. Looking for an anonymous and discreet suck job? Afraid your politician husband will object to you openly blowing thirty or forty guys a night? Well, thank the load for inspiring sites like Glory Hole Secrets, where you'll marvel at the level to which some women will stoop just to get a taste of eighteen or nineteen different wads. With High Definition videos capturing every sordid detail and DNA-containing drop, Glory Hole Secrets is sexy, sordid, scandalous fun.
Sweet, sticky, and sometimes heralding a painful sting: honey and women aren't that different, you know? At least, that's the position taken by Go Honey Go! A brand-new site just now passing the 50-scene mark, Go Honey Go doesn't give much away on its tour pages except to showcase its stunning models in barely-there outfits and their naked, natural forms - and what honeys they are! With a site so new it can be hard to tell if membership is worthwhile, but, hey, that's why I'm here, so tag along with Professor Pink as I investigate Go Honey Go and see if it does, honey, does.

News & Events
Tips of the Week!
As you prepare to come to the University at Albany, the ISSS Tip of the Week will highlight information that is important to new international students. If you have not read information from previous weeks, please do.
July 25 – Financial Information
Student Financial Center
The Student Financial Center provides students with a wide variety of resources and information related to viewing and paying your bill. Much of this can be done on-line and they are always happy to answer your questions. It is vital that you take a few minutes to read through and explore this information about their services:
We strongly encourage you to not travel carrying large sums of cash.
You can use peerTransfer to pay your student bill, or you can use a credit card via your e-pay account.
Bank Accounts
Many students have a bank account in the area. This is a list to banks with branches or ATMs in the UAlbany area
Credit Cards
You may also want to consider having a credit card that can be used internationally. Some students reserve these for emergency situation, while many students use them as a regular, everyday form of payment. Most on and off campus establishments accept credit cards as payment for everything from a cup of coffee to your semester's tuition. We do not recommend any particular credit card, but encourage you to carefully consider the terms of the credit card, and that its services meet your needs.
As always, you can e-mail us with questions at: email@example.com.
July 16 – Health Services and Requirements
The Health Center would like to remind students that they need to become compliant with the following Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) Immunization and TB Requirements. Student must also submit the Health Form and supporting documentation.
Required Health Form
All students must complete the Required Health Form. You may submit information by email, mail or fax. The Forms email is email@example.com. The mailing address is: University Health Center, University at Albany, 400 Patroon Creek Blvd., Suite 200, Albany, NY 12206. The fax number is (518)-442-5444
Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) Immunization
All students must submit a copy of their MMS vaccination documentation, or copies of lab tests confirming immunity to Measles, Mumps and Rubella.
Tuberculosis (TB) Testing
All students are assessed for the risk of TB through the Required Health Form. The most common risk for TB is exposure in a TB endemic country, a country known to have a high rate of TB. This includes most Eastern Mediterranean, African, Asian, Central and South American countries.
All students who have spent over 4 weeks in any TB endemic country within the past 5 years must have a TB blood test (QuantiFERON or T-Spot).
More Information
We recommend students become fully compliant before arriving at UAlbany. If necessary, these immunizations and testing can be done when you arrive, but there will be costs associated. Please visit the following link to find more details about these requirements: http://www.albany.edu/health_center/internationalimmunizationreqs.shtml
A wide variety of information about the Health Center and its services can be found here: http://www.albany.edu/health_center/newstudents.shtml.
As always, you can e-mail us with questions at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
July 9 – Housing
Freshman student must live on-campus. Most graduate students live off-campus. Some transfer and study abroad/exchange students live off-campus, while others prefer the convenience of living on-campus.
On-Campus Housing: If you have not already signed up for housing, and you need or want to live on-campus please do that now. Freshman are guaranteed on-campus housing. Study Abroad/Exchange, transfer and graduate students may apply to live on campus, but space in not guaranteed. The earlier you apply, the better your chances of getting a room.
Off-Campus Housing provides information on finding off-campus housing. A bus system connects campus to a variety of housing options and it really pretty easy to find off campus housing.
The office of Personal Safety and Off Campus Affairs also provides good information.
As always, you can e-mail us with questions at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
June 26 – Registration
The process of Registration at UAlbany always starts with Academic Advising, to ensure that you are on the correct path towards earning your degree. How you get Advising, and thus how you get an AVN number and Register, depends upon what category of student you are.
Graduate students get their advisement directly from their academic department. Your advisor's name was listed on your acceptance letter. You are encouraged to review your graduate program curriculum and contact your advisor. Please note that advisors may be on summer break and responses may be delayed.
Study Abroad & Exchange students who are coming to UAlbany for a short term stay and will be getting their degree from an institution other than UAlbany are advised by the office of Study Abroad & Exchanges. Click here for more information.
Freshman are advised by the Academic Advising Office. To simplify the process, the Academic Advising Office has created a form specifically for new international freshmen. If you have not already done so, please complete this form.
Undergraduate Transfer students are advised by either the Academic Advising Office or their Academic Department. You can find lots of information here for transfer students.
As always, you can e-mail us with questions at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

New U.S. CBP Automated I-94 System
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has begun its new automated I-94 arrival/departure record system. As international students, you will still receive an I-94. However, it will not be in the form of a small, white card stapled into your passport at the time of entry that many of you are used to. Instead, you will have an electronic I-94, which you will have to download and print from the CBP web site.
Please remember that ISSS needs a copy of any new documents you have been issued, including the I-94. Once you print out the new record, please provide a copy to ISSS.
Click here to retrieve your new I-94 record.

Our capsule of inspiration for the week includes a new way forward for visualizing our work, fantasy, Epiphany, and the sage words of a French Buddhist monk.
Matthieu Ricard
Matthieu Ricard
The title we've given this week's show, "The 'Happiest' Man in the World," is slightly tongue-in-cheek. It appeared in a British newspaper after the publication of scientific study results on Matthieu Ricard's brain. He dismisses this label and has issued many good-natured disclaimers. We've revived it here, however, because of the lovely way in which Matthieu Ricard fills that phrase with a whole new range of savvy, satisfying meaning.
Fact-checking for this program leads down a puzzling path searching for a famous quote.
A series of portraits of Buddhist monks in silence from a 1966 doc by Arnaud Desjardins.

Eventing with William Fox-Pitt: Part ThreeAugust 26th, 2015 at 3:52 pm The first two parts of this series saw William putting in the groundwork for the higher levels. We looked at teaching young horses to think for themselves - in a way that has them working with you, not against you. William taught from a premise of common sense – by establishing good habits and taking your time on the flat, you'll have your controls sorted out for jumping and cross-country as well. Continue reading Read Article
Eventing with William Fox-Pitt: Part TwoAugust 6th, 2015 at 11:18 am Although the focus at Equitana is on getting more bang for your buck, I can't help but appreciate the specialist clinics being charged as a separate ticket.

Geez. That's a challenging question. It might be easier to say what isn't. Rap and Opera. Probably because I have not figured a way to do them justice. Lol
Succinctly, yes.
Having fun.
Yes, regularly. Boardwalk, Panchos, Prince of Whales, San Pedro Fish Market, Britannia.
